Trump erects substantial American flags in the verdant White House grounds
The Donald Trump Show: White House Gets a Major Upgrade
Stepping up his game, President Donald Trump recently added two towering flagpoles to the White House grounds. With one standing in the North Garden and another in the South, these impressive masts have transformed the presidential residence in a bold, visual declaration.
For years, the American flag had flapped proudly from a mast on the White House roof, but not good enough for Trump. "It's a GIFT from me to this magnificent place," he declared on Truth Social.
Witnessing the installation of the final mast in the South Garden, Trump beamed with pride. "It's a bloody marvel," he exclaimed, overseeing the crane's precise maneuvers. Later that day, he returned to salute as the stars and stripes draped the brand-new mast.
The North Garden's mast, standing tall near Pennsylvania Avenue, marks another noteworthy adjustment to the White House exterior—the most noticeable since Trump took the reins of the presidency. His ambitious transformation plans for the executive power seat continue unabated.
Funding the mast project with his own pocket change, Trump explained, "I'm paying for it." Roughly estimating the cost at around $50,000 per mast, he declared his full commitment to this personal project.
Inside the residence, changes have been afoot as well. The Oval Office sparkles with golden accents, historical portraits, and a facsimile of the Declaration of Independence. The Rose Garden dons new paving stones, while plans are brewing for a swanky new ballroom within the compound. It's clear that the White House is shaping up to resemble Mar-a-Lago, Trump's palatial Florida retreat.
Despite the escalating tension between Iran and Israel, and uncertainties regarding potential US involvement in the conflict, Trump couldn't resist staking his claim at the flagpole dedication. "I friggin' love construction," he quipped, harking back to his New York roots. "I f**king know construction better than anyone."
Trump ensured each mast was planted deep enough to guarantee stability at a depth of three meters. Unlike the mast at Mar-a-Lago, the rope would be contained within the cylinder, ensuring longevity and a quiet, wind-whispering presence. "It's the real bloody deal," Trump boasted. "It's the best there is. There's nothing like this."
With these modifications, the White House is not only experiencing a physical makeover but also embodying Trump's distinct vision as he carves his mark on one of the United States' most enduring symbols.
